Our experience was similar to ElizabethN. DS took CogAT when he was 7.5yo and in 3rd grade. He had a Composite SAS score of 149 -his weakest being the Verbal section and very easily made the cut off for the AG program. He took the WISC a few months later and then we found the FSIQ not even close to the CoGAT score because he has low WM and PS.This was later diagnosed as ADHD with anxiety issues. It could be that when he took the CogAT he thought it was just another test at school and so had no anxiety whereas it was not so when he working one on one with the psych. So it depends totally on the child and I would be make sure that the higher of the 2 scores will be used if he is forced to take the test with his class.
